Create a Sustainable Future with Savant Power

Planned blackouts have become an unsettling reality for many Californians. Managed by the California Independent System Operator, these controlled power outages are necessary to stabilize the power grid and ensure electricity keeps flowing across Orange County and much of the state. As a homeowner, facing the uncertainty of a blackout during Southern California's increasingly extreme weather is daunting.

The heat wave that swept through the region in 2024 was a stark reminder of this growing challenge. With temperatures soaring to 112°F in Anaheim on September 6, this summer went down in history as the hottest on record. And according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), these weather extremes aren’t going away. They’re expected to become even more frequent and severe due to climate change.

The question is, how do you prepare? As climate events intensify and planned blackouts become more common, Southern Californians are seeking ways to protect their families and reduce dependence on the unpredictable grid. This is where energy management technology comes into play. They help homeowners control energy use, reduce consumption during peak times, and turn to sustainable sources for a cleaner future.

At AUDIOVISIONS, we’re here to guide you. We’ve partnered with Savant, a leader in home automation and energy management, to offer solutions that help you stay in control. Our goal is to provide you with the tools you need to manage power effectively, safeguard your home, and maintain comfort even when the grid is down. Let’s explore how we can make your home more resilient and energy-efficient.

Bring the power of high-end whole-home audio to your everyday activities!

Ever wish your daily life could have its own soundtrack, just like in the movies? Listening to music is a universal experience that often involves juggling multiple devices, from wireless headphones while exercising to loudspeakers while cleaning the kitchen. The problem is that constantly switching to several devices can be inconvenient. Plus, traditional audio systems are often clunky, inconsistent, or simply not up to par when it comes to sound quality and ease of use. 

That’s where a high-end whole-home audio system comes in. This system is one of our clients' favorites, not just because it fills every room with music but because it truly elevates every experience at home, making each moment of daily life better, more enjoyable, and perfectly tuned to their lifestyle.

Discover One of the World’s Most Advanced Lighting Systems

Palm Desert, CA, is known for its wide-open vistas, creating an immense backdrop for stunning sunrises and deep blue desert skies. Eventually, a violet hue takes hold before settling into a dusk, crystalline blue that becomes darkness. To say that this area of the world experiences stunning natural lighting would be an understatement.

As integrators and designers, we at AUDIOVISIONS are inspired by this natural beauty. While we serve all of California in its striking and diverse magnificence, something about a desert sunrise makes you pay attention, stop the inner chatter, and be still. The problem, of course, is that we spend so little of our time outdoors, a mere 10% according to some estimates, that, for most of our days, we miss out on this breathtaking vision.

But what if we could bring natural light indoors? With Ketra lighting and our team of experts, you can. Here, you’ll discover how to create a home filled with sunshine even on a cloudy day and without the accompanying heat of a desert sun.

By partnering with AUDIOVISIONS, a well-known custom integrator serving Orange County, CA, and the entire state of California, you can be confident in creating a home with elevated market appeal, an intuitive and beautiful living environment, and setting the standards for luxury home building and design.

Creating a Greener Home and Reliable Power

As many of you probably remember, a July heatwave in San Francisco, CA, caused public safety electrical power shutoffs throughout the region, ultimately affecting over 11,000 Bay Area households. Whether intentional blackouts to reduce the risk of wildfires or an aging electricity grid that hasn't kept pace with changing climates and increasing demands, deliberate and unplanned blackouts are expected to increase across the state. 

In response, Californians are taking control of their energy and reducing their dependence on the grid. One of the most popular energy management solutions today is Savant Power. This system uses Savant's award-winning app, smart power modules, green energy, and storage solutions to monitor and manage your home's energy consumption. 

With one tap on an app, your home can go completely off-grid or prepare for a possible upcoming outage—ensuring your home and family are protected no matter the weather or the state of the PG&E-controlled power grid.

Transform Everyday Listening with Hidden Speaker Options from AUDIOVISIONS

The Sonance Invisible Series addresses this issue effectively by installing within walls or ceilings, seamlessly blending into any California interior with the option to be painted or finished to match the surrounding surfaces.
